Perast

By car

The main road bypasses the town by going above it. There is only one drivable road in Perast. It is recommended to leave your car on the parking right on the entrance to town, because the road is very narrow and most parking spaces are private or already taken.
If you enter from the West or southern side beware of scammers that will tell you that you cannot drive into town. They will demand payment for the parking.
Ignore them, bypass the city and enter from the other side where parking is free of such activities.

By bus

Perast is reachable by bus and car from Kotor (15-30 min drive).
From Kotor's old town, the bus stops at the southern end of the fresh market (no actual bus stop, look for people waiting around the light poles). In Perast, you can find the glass bus stop in front of the main church.
Look for the Blue Line minibuses, which cost only €1 per ride. As of 2017 the Blue Line buses picked up passengers every 30 to 60 minutes until 22:30. To ensure the bus stops, it is advised to wave it down, otherwise it will not always stop.
Other (long-distance) buses traveling between Kotor and Perast might also stop, if you wait and wave on the main road to Perast, and take you to Perast. There are also several open tourist buses driving along the coast after the hop-on hop-off principle. It stops here as well.

By boat

Several boat trips from Kotor and Budva takes you through the bay and sets you off at the small island church of Our Lady of the Rock. Here you have a view towards Perast town itself and the surrounding bay area. These boat trips are found many places along the beaches of Kotor and Budva.

Walking from one end to another is a relaxing mere 15-20 min stroll, so no other options than that are really necessary.

• The two local islandsSt. George island and Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rock). You can catch water taxis from €5 for a return ticket from the water front. Just look out for the sandwich boards.

Perast doesn't have sandy beaches, however it does have stony beaches, at both north and south ends, close to its public parkings. You can sunbathe there, on the numerous small stone and concrete docks jutting out into the sea, or at a beach club.

  Very beautiful, and reasonably price hotel on the bay. The hotel is part of a restaurant building. Therefore, any hotel related questions (e.g. when is check out?) must be asked to the servers in the restaurant. It can be a little confusing because not all servers know the answer to hotel questions. Otherwise, the hotel is a pleasant experience. All rooms have complimentary Wi-Fi, but it can come and go at times. Mastercard is accepted.
